Mason Rook made his return to NXT last night in the opening segment of the show, attacking NXT champion Grayson Waller.

Rook was scheduled to battle Waller for the title in late September after winning a number one contender’s match but was later pulled from the show due to an undisclosed medical issue. It was said that Rook would be out indefinitely due to his issue but the British star showed up at the WWE PC for some action earlier than anyone anticipated.

He had a stare down with Shiloh Hill after attacking Waller, suggesting that he is back in the title picture.
